The Loft
The Loft is perfectly suited to parties and gatherings of up to 50 people, with seating for 40 guests and plenty of space for dancing or catching up with friends and family.
The spacious and modern room can be rearranged to suit the needs of your party, with fixed seating, large tables and chairs, and bar stools.
Our entertainment system can be connected to your device so that you can play your own music, but the room is big enough for you to have a DJ or singer (but this may impact on your total numbers).
The bar is fully stocked with draught lager, ale, and Guinness as well as quality wines, cold ciders and spirits on request to match your personal tastes.
For catering, we currently don’t offer any in-house options for large parties, but we can recommend some excellent local caterers who can supply your party with an excellent spread of food.
Please note, The Loft is a first floor room with no access to toilets on the same floor.
The Pub
If your booking is outside of our normal opening hours during the week, we can open the pub early for you. This is ideally suited to wakes or events where the guest numbers are uncertain.
This would give you full private access to the main bar area from as early as 10am until we open to the public at 4pm.
We can also arrange a caterer to provide food for your gathering, which can be set-up and ready for your arrival.
What Does It Cost?
For all bookings we charge a non-refundable deposit of £50 charged at the time of booking.
To book The Loft with the bar, or with over 25 guests there is an additional charge of £50 due on the day of the event.
If you are booking The Barn (max 20 guests), there are optional add-ons:
– Unlimited Drinks, £20 per person
– Pizza Buffet, £10 per person

A hot drinks package can be offered in either room to a maximum of 20 guests at £5 per head.
There are no additional charges for opening the pub early.
